Getting Mac OS X up and running on a computer without an Apple label has always been a bit of a hassle. You needed customised Mac OS X disks, updates would ruin all your hard work, and there was lots of fiddling with EFI and the likes. Ever since the release of boot-132, this is no longer the case. Read on for how setting up a "Hack"intosh really is as easy as 1, 3, 2.

From the EULA for OS X: 2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so.

In this sense labelled does not mean print a label and slap it on, but product branding. Solution? Take any old dead apple, slap new componants into it as an 'upgrade' - and boom. So much for the EULA.

Hence my Apple IIe I shoe-horned the guts from a usb blueberry imac keyboard into with a new bezel... running 10.5.6 leoptard.
